Chapter 3, Proceeding to Nanwen

Ma Xiaofeng waved his hand in front of Shi Yong, who was almost drooling while looking at the woman. Only then did Shi Yong come to his senses. He then dragged Ma Xiaofeng over and asked, "Who is this woman? You little rascal, you really are a scoundrel. It's only been a month since we last met, and you've already changed your girlfriend. But speaking of which, weren't you dating Yu Suqiu? You little brat, honestly confess, how many relationships are you juggling? I tell you, Yu Suqiu is very innocent, you must not let her down.

"This is unacceptable," Shi Yong sighed. "In the past month, including today's case, there have already been four homicide incidents. When the first one occurred, I sensed something was amiss and wanted to contact you, but your phone was always off. I had no idea where you were off gallivanting. It wasn't until a few days ago when a colleague mentioned seeing you at a bar that I decided to come find you after today's similar incident."

Regarding Ma Xiaofeng's irresponsible remarks, Shi Yong truly wished to strike this man, who was smiling brightly before him, with a brick. Unfortunately, he still needed his assistance, so the captain of the criminal investigation team could only learn the supreme method of enduring and swallowing his anger.

"Feifei, I have friends here, so I won't see you off. Take care on your own," said Ma Xiaofeng with a smile.

Seeing that Ma Xiaofeng spoke without any confidence, Shi Yong also began to prepare: "If even you are not certain, then how can this case possibly be resolved"

Presenting his identification, Shi Yong took Ma Xiaofeng directly to the autopsy room. To catch the murderer, it was naturally impossible to search aimlessly. At the very least, Ma Xiaofeng needed to examine the body using his own methods. By analyzing the condition of the corpse, he might be able to determine the type of weapon used. At the very least, this could narrow down the scope of the investigation.

Ma Xiaofeng looked at Shi Yong with utmost seriousness, a demeanor so earnest that it almost made Shi Yong believe that Ma Xiaofeng was the captain of the criminal investigation team

So soon? Ma Xiaofeng was taken aback; it seems that the case is indeed not simple, otherwise Shi Yong would not be so anxious

Upon hearing this, Shi Yong was filled with anger: "You can travel as you please, but why turn off your phone? It’s as if you’ve vanished from the face of the earth."

He shrugged his shoulders irresponsibly and said: "I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I have no clues at all. This guy must be a habitual offender; he operates very cleanly, leaving no trace of malice, making it impossible for me to make any judgments. Moreover, judging by the state of the deceased, this guy is quite ruthless. This means that this case will be quite tricky, and I don’t know if my half-baked skills in the mystical arts can resolve it"

Ma Xiaofeng gave him a disdainful look: "Do you think I am Sherlock Holmes? Just a glance and I have a clue?"

He spoke a great deal all at once, causing Ma Xiaofeng to nearly cover his ears with his hands. In the end, he simply pushed Shi Yong away.

Alright, let's not discuss these matters any further; instead, let's talk about your case. When do you need me to go over to Nanwen?" Ma Xiaofeng was also unwilling to engage in idle chatter on such topics, so he changed the subject.

Yu Suqiu is a doctor at the Central Hospital of Jian'an City. Beautiful and graceful, she resembles a pure lily. Once, Shi Yong and Ma Xiaofeng went out for drinks and later encountered a group of thugs who attempted to harass several girls in a bar. Ma Xiaofeng and Shi Yong dealt with the thugs severely, but both were injured. Shi Yong was struck on the head with a beer bottle, causing blood to flow like running water. Ma Xiaofeng took him to the Central Hospital, where it was Yu Suqiu who stitched him up.

The woman named Feifei nodded and then left, accompanied by a waft of fragrance

I am not doing this to avoid being urged by the magazine staff," Ma Xiaofeng said helplessly, "At most, I will quickly pack my things and go with you to the south m.hetushu .com .com literature. Oh heavens, I haven't had a proper meal today.

Shi Yong's expression darkened.

Ma Xiaofeng scratched his head and said, "What nonsense! This month I went to Hainan for a vacation, and I was also looking for inspiration to write articles. You don't know, the magazine has been pushing me for submissions lately. But I encountered some strange things in Hainan, which delayed me for a while; I just returned last week"

Fate cannot be forced; Shi Yong also understood that he should not intervene too much in this matter. Since Ma Xiaofeng said so, he merely smiled and let it pass, wishing in his heart that the good girl Yu Suqiu would find a man better than Ma Xiaofeng in the future

How is it going? Do you have any clues?

To capture it, we must first determine what kind of monster it is. Only by knowing both ourselves and the enemy can we fight and win. Ma Xiaofeng put away his smile and said seriously: To identify the type of monster, we must start from various aspects of the information available, and summarize the collected data to arrive at the results we desire. This information includes the cause of death, location, identity of the deceased, and all other information we can utilize. These details can inform us about the monster's habits, allowing us to determine its category. Now, Captain Shi, please tell me everything you know.

You can still eat that meal in South Wen!

It is best that we leave immediately

In the cold dissection room, Shi Yong pulled out one storage cabinet after another. After removing the white membrane covering the bodies, four corpses with grotesque expressions appeared before Ma Xiaofeng's eyes. Ma Xiaofeng restrained his usual nonchalance and slowly walked around these corpses. At times, he would stop and place his hand above a corpse, as if sensing something. Shi Yong did not disturb him until Ma Xiaofeng had examined all the bodies.

Unfortunately, there is currently no girl who can capture the heart of the old friend, not even Yu Suqiu, who cares the most about Ma Xiaofeng

Under the repeated urging of Shi Yong, the two arrived at Nanwen just as the sun was setting. After hastily having dinner, they drove directly to the military hospital in Nanwen City. The corpses of the murder victims from the past month had all been sent here for autopsy and forensic identification.

"You are really something, aren't you? You know very well that Yu Suqiu is as innocent as a little white flower. How could I dare to touch her? Therefore, we can't really be considered as dating," Ma Xiaofeng shook his head, looking innocent. He pointed to the front door and said, "It's still someone like Feifei who is suitable for me. If we get along, we come together; if not, we part ways. There are not too many emotional burdens between us. The life that Yu Suqiu desires, I know I cannot provide for her, so please stop linking us together."

Alright, alright, Shitou, quickly take back your pig-like appearance, it's truly embarrassing

Thus, the three of them became acquainted. Without any suspense, Yu Suqiu developed feelings for the free-spirited Ma Xiaofeng. However, after some interactions, Ma Xiaofeng felt that they belonged to different worlds, and gradually distanced himself from Yu Suqiu. Yet, it seemed that Yu Suqiu could not let go of Ma Xiaofeng, which led to Shi Yong receiving numerous calls from this female doctor, with most of their conversations revolving around Ma Xiaofeng.

Shi Yong asked nervously

"That may not be the case." Ma Xiaofeng was also unceremonious, finding a chair for himself and sitting down: "If we cannot match it in strength, can we outsmart it? Moreover, monsters are not like ghosts; even if we use guns, we can still shoot it dead. Of course, the premise is that you can shoot it through before it kills you."

Regarding his close friend, Shi Yong has a considerable understanding of his character. Although Ma Xiaofeng appears to be flirtatious on the surface, Shi Yong knows that he has never truly liked any girl. Shi Yong believes that once Ma Xiaofeng genuinely falls in love with a girl, he will undoubtedly transform from a playboy into a devoted man in love.
